Looks okay. Car looks good!
if you like them, keep them
i think that visors would come in handy in the rain,when smoking or driving through taco bell j/k
If you take them off, will it leave any marks?

Yeah, I keep thinking the same thing about my car. I have the WeatherTechs. I think I'll keep them on.

I think it's only useful for the smokers really. I don't know if drive-thru's have something that'll fit in a two-inch opening when it's raining... chances are you'll still have to roll the window down. And on highways, I think it's just additional surface for air resistance. If it's for the looks... Maxima looks fine without it. So I say take it off.

Forget the drive-thru's. I like it so that I can crack the windows open when I'm driving in the rain or when it's hot out and the car is parked.

Plus, Weathertech stuff ain't cheap, so I'm keepin em.

I think they look really good on a Max (more aggressive and hides the chrome).
Keep em and get some AE headlights or black projectors, everything will come together nicely.

Paint them with some flex paint to match the body color.

I had the Auto Ventshade Vent Visors on my car first, then I took em off and replaced them with the Weathertechs because I didnt like how the vent visors covered up some of the chrome trim. I had my vent visors on for like 2 years and just took em off in the spring and there was barely any marks. When you first take them off there will still be some of the tape adhesive on the chrome, but I just cleaned it all up. There is still some marks on the pillars but they should wear away and they might even clean up, I havent tried anything on them yet.

I have them on my car, and I love them especially when it rains. You can have the window cracked, keeping the rain from coming in. Since it covered up the chrome trim, I applied chrome pinstripe on the visors to look as if the visors look stock.
